I had a lower facelift and neck lift two weeks ago....and love the results! How long should I wait before I schedule laser hair removal for chin area?
Answer: The Timing Of Laser Hair Removal After Face Lift
The answer to your question depends mostly on your recovery, and partially on what modality is being used for hair removal and who is performing the procedure. I would want all your bruising and a good portion of your (acute) swelling to have resolved before proceeding -- say 6-8 weeks at the earliest to be safe. Your surgeon should be able to provide guidance for you since s/he knows your surgery and recovery the best. Best wishes.

Answer: Speak with your surgeon I suggest you consult the board certified facial plastic surgeon who performed your lower facelift and neck lift procedures. Not only would the board certification ensure you receive the highest quality knowledge, treatment, care and skill available, but the consultation will provide you the opportunity to relay your concerns and desired outcome to the surgeon while the surgeon - whom you already trust - can assess your health profile and discuss his/her pertinent advice. Each patient is different. For example. some lower facelift patients may begin to use patient one week after surgery. Ultimately, your decision to have laser hair removal will depend on your personal healing process. Meticulous technique and attention to detail by your surgeon may allow you to go through with the laser hair removal sooner rather than later.

Answer: Laser Hair Removal Following facelift You can have laser chin hair removal following a face lift at any time as the skin is not undermined in this area with a facelift.

Answer: Laser Hair Removal after Facelift
Thank you for the great question. Generally speaking, the chin skin is not elevated or undermined during a facelift. So, the concerns about "double-stressing" this area would not likely be an issue. Please check with your surgeon first, but 4 weeks or so should be fine.
